My attempts to get Internet access from an Ubuntu 10.04 over Bluetoothless via a tethered Verizon Blackberry Storm 2 were frustratingly unsuccessful. Then I tried Berry4all (http://www.berry4all.com/home) over a Bluetooth and it worked on my second attempt, when I ran it sudo'd (as opposed to my first, when I didn't). -- Bhaskar On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 10:50 PM, Jonathan DeMasi <jrdemasi@gmail.com> wrote: > You need to have a data plan that supports tethering.
